[S1005] Ockert Johann Fourie, "Faurite to Fourie — What's in a name", 2021 Huguenot Bulletin 58 (2021): Although the passenger list of the Borsenberg did not survive, a copy of an account book ot ledger (Grootboek en Joernaal) fiom 1688 of the Borsenburg, did suvive and is held in the VOC archjve (1.04.02) of the National archives of the Nethedands in The Hague. This book contains an enhy that seems to prove that the South Aftican prcgenitor did actually boad the Borsenburg and not the Wapen van Alkmaar as is sometimes claimed. The entry reads. Louis Fori van Livorn in Dauphine vijman vide Caapse vijb.. Hereinafter cited as "Faurite to Fourie — What's in a name."
